'India has welcomed the birth of four cheetah cubs - more than 70 years after
the animals were declared officially extinct there.
India's environment minister announced the good news, calling it a "momentous
event".
The country has been trying to reintroduce the big cats for decades, and last
year brought eight cheetahs over from Namibia as part of the plan.
Another 12 cheetahs were brought to India from South Africa last month.
The four cubs were born in Kuno National Park wildlife sanctuary to one of the
females that came from Namibia last September.
Announcing the news on Twitter, Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav said he
was "delighted".
"I congratulate the entire team of Project Cheetah for their relentless efforts
in bringing back cheetahs to India and for their efforts in correcting an
ecological wrong done in the past," he said.'
